00:00 Comedians Tito Soto, Vic Soto, and Joey De Leon win another trademark dispute, this time involving De Leon's bid to get a trademark registration for Itbolaga for entertainment purposes such as TV shows.
00:13 On X, Tito Soto says production company Tapes Appeal has been "dismissed."
00:18 Earlier, an intellectual property of the Philippines adjudicator ruled in favor of the comedians in their bid to cancel Tapes' trademark registration of Itbolaga, and the acronym EB, for merchandise goods.
00:29 Tape claimed that the battle is not over since the case can be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:35 Since Tape continues to use Itbolaga and EB on its noon show, De La Cruz says Tito Vic and Joey, or TVJ, will seek an injunction from a Marikina court.
00:44 TVJ had a bitter dispute with Tape's owner, Romeo Jalisco Sr., which prompted the group's exit from the production company in May.
